Yellowstone #2900 has arrived and I couldn't be more pleased. To be honest, it has surpassed my expectations and will only sound better with time. As you can see in one of the photos I have two Yellowstones. My first was x-braced, Brekke bridge, and lacquer finish. The new one has tone bars, traditional Brekke bridge, and spirit varnish finish. Wow!! what a difference. The extra cost is well worth it. Tone and sustain are superb. I believe part of the mystique of the mandolin is eye appeal and you folks have captured that.

Originally I had planned on buying one of your competitors products, but I now know how wrong that would have been for me. I saw this mandolin on your website in the "Available Now" section and the staff at STE were so helpful in helping locate this instrument and helping me acquire it. The instrument sound, price, and quality are what brought me to STE, but the people at STE are what brought me back and tipped the balance for me. Customer service, friendly, knowledgeable, and willing to answer all of my questions....what a great recipe!

Please give my regards to Mr. Weber and all of the staff at STE. I have acquired one of your instruments, and you have acquired my loyalty.
Thanks again, and God bless!
